Valentine’s Day is about love, appreciation and eating sweets. February 14 is the one day a year where adults can splurge on sugary treats without feeling remorse for indulging a little too much. The right dessert can set the mood and be the highlight of a wonderful evening. Here are three great (and easy) dessert ideas for spending Valentine’s Day in your Sherman Oaks apartments.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries: melt the chocolate using a double boiler or two pans on top of each other and tip your strawberries half way and let them draw. You can also melt chocolate in a microwave.

Heart Sandwich Cookie: use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to create your sandwich pieces, then fill each side with frosting and put them together.

Hot Chocolate with Heart Marshmallows: use an X-Acto knife to cut heart shapes into your marshmallows and then serve them with hot chocolate or coffee at the end of your romantic night.
